Among this group of children of similar age, some are lively and some are quiet, except Song Wuyi, who has a maturity that does not match his age and is like a little adult.

His eyes had been following Shen Yuanyuan silently. When he was suddenly asked, he didn't know what happened, but his expression was still serious.

He looked at Yuanyuan without saying anything.

"If you want to touch it, I can let you touch it." Shen Yuanyuan said.

"Can I?"

It was rare for Song Wuyi to show the shyness that one of his peers showed.

Shen Yuanyuan was very generous, "Of course!"

Han Linqiu was playing with the small sword. Song Wuyi hesitated and reached out to touch Shen Yuanyuan's... face.

Soft.

Shen Yuanyuan: “…”

Han Linqiu: “!!!”

"Song Wuyi! What are you doing?! Who told you to touch the princess's face?!" Han Linqiu raised his sword and was about to beat Song Wuyi.

Song Wuyi then realized that he had just thought wrongly.

Shen Yuanyuan was worried that Han Linqiu might break her sword, so she stepped forward to stop him.

Song Wuyi thought Shen Yuanyuan was protecting him, so he simply hid behind her.

"Song Wuyi! Come out here! Let's fight in a one-on-one duel if you dare!" Han Linqiu jumped up and shouted.

The three children were making a lot of noise and chasing each other in the crowd. Their maids and little servants followed closely behind them, as did other young ladies and gentlemen.

The princess's two personal female guards stared at her intently.

Shen Yuanyuan was watching the road, but still accidentally bumped into Shen Qingyue who was hurrying over.

She was distracted and stumbled. Fangyin supported her young lady and scolded her without looking closely.

"Which kid is so blind? How dare he run around in the royal palace?"

Song Wuyi, who had been hiding behind Shen Yuanyuan, stepped forward and stood in front of Shen Yuanyuan.

He didn't know Shen Qingyue, but judging from her clothes, he guessed that her status was not as good as Shen Yuanyuan's.

"How dare you! This is Princess Yongjia! How can a servant like you have any say in that?"

Fang Yin wanted to refute, but seeing the sullen faces of Shen Yuanyuan's female guards not far away, she was afraid of being pinned to the ground in public, so she shut up.

Sangniu and Danzhu were discussing the secret guards. Lin'an spotted them and walked over. Song Xiangyi saw that there seemed to be a conflict here and hurried over for fear of causing trouble.

After all, even if we don't look at the Regent's Palace, the Shen family, the general of the garrison army, is not something the Song family can afford to offend.

Song Xiangyi apologized on behalf of her two children. Just then the ceremonial officer called the Song family, so she took the children into the Linde Hall first.

Shen Qingyue hated Shen Yangui, and by extension, she also hated her own sister. Seeing that Princess Lin'an was not around, she deliberately said something veiled:

"Shen Yuanyuan, your sister doesn't seem to like you that much. The princess is only this young, but she's already hosting such a grand birthday banquet for the princess. You've never been hosted before, even though you're this old."

Shen Yuanyuan retorted: "You are talking nonsense, my sister likes me the most!"

"She used to like you the most, but now that there's a princess, you're not her favorite anymore."

Shen Yuanyuan looked at her with her big eyes, her lips tightly pursed, and her face was obviously unhappy.

Shen Qingyue was very happy. "In the future, your sister will ask you to give in to the princess in everything. You have to give her everything she likes, food, things to use, clothes, and toys. She has everything, but you have nothing."

Shen Yuanyuan didn't know what it meant to sow discord, but she felt that she had bad intentions, so she didn't say anything polite, "You are so pitiful."

"What did you say?"

"Sister is the princess' mother. Of course a mother must love her daughter. I am also loved by my mother."

Shen Yuanyuan was clear and organized. "Besides, I have a sister, and the princess doesn't have one. I have one more person who loves me than the princess. I don't need my sister to ask me to give in to the princess. I am the princess's aunt, and I am much older than the princess. Of course, I will protect her in the future!"

She asked innocently, "Didn't your mother teach you this?"

Shen Qingyue opened her mouth, and she was actually scolded by a child.

"Oh~ You don't have a mother or a sister, no wonder you don't know anything."

Shen Yuanyuan pouted and shook her head sympathetically.

Shen Qingyue was furious: She was just a little girl, and she dared to mock me for not having a mother!

"you……"

Shen Yuanyuan heard the call to invite "General Shen of the Garrison Army" and kindly interrupted, "It's your turn, Miss Shen."

"Aren't you Miss Shen?!"

"Fool, I am a princess and you are an official's family member, how can we be the same?"

Shen Qingyue: "..."

Shen Yuanyuan glanced at her and ran to Lin'an, "Your Highness, the Princess~General~Princess Danzhu~"

This cute and adorable voice made Shen Qingyue feel even more uncomfortable: at such a young age, he has actually learned to flatter the powerful and look down on the weak!

Little bitch! I saved her before, but she dared to be so rude to me!

Even after sitting down, Shen Qingyue's chest was still heaving with anger.

"The Regent has arrived—The Princess has arrived—Princess Jingning has arrived—"

Everyone stood up from their seats, knelt down to greet him respectfully, and shouted in unison:

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Regent, to Her Royal Highness the Princess, to Her Royal Highness the Princess—"

The Regent's family appeared. Mo Chengying held his daughter in one hand and held his wife's hand with the other. The whole family wore dark red auspicious robes embroidered with gold patterns and sat in the hall.

In fact, according to the rules, it was the mother Shen Yangui who was supposed to hold the princess, and she herself also wanted to hold her.

But since the princess was born, it was her father Mo Chengying who accompanied her day and night, coaxing her to eat and sleep. He had the correct posture for holding the child and was familiar with his daughter's habits.

The princess felt more secure in his arms.

Mo Chengying didn't think that this was any banquet that required sacrificing his daughter's comfort, nor did he think there was anything shameful about hugging his daughter in public.

So he threw all the rules out of his mind.

Before the Regent asked her to excuse herself, Shen Qingyue raised her head. She looked at Shen Yangui's back and imagined that one day she would hold her child in her arms, with the prince holding her hand, and accept the worship of all the ministers.

By then, they will no longer be the Regent and the Princess, but the Emperor and the Empress.

Her son will be the crown prince.

Mo Chengying and Shen Yangui walked up to the platform, turned around, and said in unison:

"My dear ministers, please stand up—"

"Thank you, Prince Regent, thank you, Princess, thank you, Your Highness the Princess—"

Today is Princess Jingning’s first birthday party, and the most important part is presenting gifts.

Princess Lin'an presented a crown with blue and red rubies, hundreds of flowers and golden butterflies, the value of which is self-evident.

When the officials entered the palace, there were already ceremonial officials to collect the gifts, so there was no need to present them in public.

Among them there was a special one, which was the official in the princess’ fiefdom.

The governor of Kishu, on behalf of the officials of the princess' fiefdom, presented a scroll of brocade embroidered picture of a thousand blessings, made of the finest mulberry silk from the south of the Yangtze River, embroidered overnight by the best weavers in the area.

What is most valuable is not the materials used, but the words.
